The reported exit from Nigeria of Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing (JSM), located in Awa, Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom, the largest syringe manufacturer in Africa, is yet another painful development on our national journey.

This very sad development, where multinational companies continue to exit Nigeria, should worry every concerned Nigerian. This ugly development contrasts the Government's claim that the regime is attracting investors.

I had earlier ed other Nigerians in lamenting the exit of some multinationals like GlaxoSmithKline, GSK; Procter and Gamble, P&G; Equinor ASA, and many others, and indeed many local businesses who have shut down over the same reason of not perceiving any prospect for the country as a business environment that would be anchored on productivity. The dire economic implications of such exits on our national economy are grave. Aside the resulting jobs losses, its cost effects on the products they produce, worsening poverty index, capital flight, and loss of human assets, I am particularly concerned about the negative impacts of such exits on our health sector. The combined effect of the exit of GSK, a giant pharmaceutical company, and now Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing (JSM) whose operations directly impacted on our national health, will further stifle our health sector already on life .

These sad developments are the results of poor management of our economy. The government must therefore turn around this ugly trend, to not only discourage more business shutdowns in Nigeria but also encourage a high inflow of foreign direct investment and local investment in the nation. This they can do by building a conducive environment that will encourage productivity and business growth. As I have consistently maintained, the New Nigeria, we all look forward to, will focus on moving the nation from consumption to production, and from unproductivity to productivity. This will attract foreign and local investors, create jobs, and foster productivity and prosperity in the nation. -PO

This is too bad to our image as a nation, and our business space, as well as our economy, in all ramification.

The master strategist, that goes to every nation to woo investors to come and invest in Nigeria has suddenly grown fat and become slow, thereby rendering him unable to go to the several countries he's used to go, to woo investors to come to Nigeria. Instead, the ones we have, that we are managing, keep leaving Nigeria on a daily basis.

But news had been debunked that the syringe company did not leave.

He should also lament on GSK leaving Kenya too.

You can't plant cocoyam and harvest apple.
The community and online minors of tinubu are busy jumping here there trying to give explanations.

You don't need any explanations to tell you that organizations are japaing from Nigeria.

All of a sudden after a disatrous and criminal election plus the criminality of the judiciary, major organisations that have been here for decades are suddenly " japaing at the same season in one name or the other.

PO is a highly successful international business man and understands the mode of operations of these multinationals.

The truth is tinubu and his gang is death to Nigeria.
This is 2023 not 1999. Things are no longer the same. These guys are leaving not because they want to, but because the system on ground is hopeless.

How did this letter from the company remotely suggest that the company was suspending operations? Seems you're not familiar with operations in big companies?

Another ignoramus. That letter you read about redundancy was to a former staff relieving him of his duties, as his role is no more needed in the company. It's so hilarious how some Nigerians love exhibiting their ignorance proudly in public space. Lolz.

The letter wasn't directed to a single individual, but the entire staff in the company.

please, always get your facts right, so as to not mislead the general public.

Goodnews or badnews

"Temporary measures", "temporary redundancy to ensure long term sustainability", these are the keywords used in the memo, there was no such thing like relocating or shutting down of operations as being insinuated. Above all, the company has debunked it. Peter Obi has leadership shortfalls, a leader must know when to talk and when not to, he should be updated on issues he intends to speak on or intervene. What if people starts dragging him on twitter for this gaffe?

-kiss the truth!

But I thought the company said the story is not true.

Very soon it will be only Thiefnubû and his Ùrchins remaining in Nigeria

Sometimes i think these politicians think all Nigerians are mumu.
